Abstract [en]

This case study deals with conceptions and attitudes about gender in a preschool context and the study includes both preschool pedagogues and parents. The frame work of the study is made up by the Social constructive perspective and the study includes two parts. The first part includes interviews analyzed with Critical Discourse analysis and the second part includes an Ethnographical perspective. The reason to include two part studies is to draw attention to the difficulties in the working processes that surrounds the enforcement of a common ground for gender equality work in a preschool context. The study shows that the informants’ conceptions and attitudes about the word gender differ and this aspect effects the implementation of gender equality work at the examined preschool.
